Hello Kitty and Sponge Bob jump off the bolt...

One of our sample sews made these adorable items from our new Hello Kitty and Sponge Bob cotton fabrics.

I love how simple this t-shirt dress is. You can go to anyone of your favorite retail stores, we got this one from Target, and with less than a yard of fabric, you have this adorable dress. If you have a really little one a onesie works perfect as well.

      

The apron and pot holder are perfect for your little chef. What little one wouldn't love to cook or grill wearing one of these.

     

What is most appealing, being the mom of a boy is that by making your own you can choose from so many great boy prints. For some reason out there is the retail world boys still don't have as many options. Really, if you have a boy or a girl we have the print for you. Whether your little one is super girly or you boy is preppy, if they just can't live with their favorite tv characters, or sports is their number one go to, we have a print for them. If you don't see it online yet, just know we're getting it up as fast as we can. This month the cotton is just flowing in. Keep checking in to see all our new prints.

Hello Kitty goes Rock & Roll

If you had asked me 5 years ago if Hello Kitty was going to join forces with Kiss I'm sure my answer would have been no, but obviously I was way off base.

Here is what I saw on the cutting table yeaterday....

 I have to say I love this! We just received this darling line of Hello Kitty from David Textiles. The cotton prints are crisp and the two fleece panels makes great blankets. Here are a few of the patterns of what we got in...

One of our buyer made up the fleece panels. While the lighting in the store isn't great, these panels are.

                   

Aren't these fun? You might think only little girls love Hello Kitty, but not so. My teen daughter and all her friends are into Hello Kitty. I think Hello Kitty is retro. Honestly I'm ot really sure, but I know we can't keep it on the shelf.  I have a feeling these prints are going to fly out of the store just as the other have.





I'm a big fan of PJ bottoms. I think the cotton prints would be perfect.  You could use one print for the majority of the pants, and than use another for the cuff.

Check out our Notions section for most of the items she suggests. Our ribbons are here and more cotton that you know what to do with is here, that's if you haven't already put the Hello Kitty in your cart. LOL! Just a side note, if you love your first pair so much you have to make another, why not try flannel or fleece. Just a thought.

Here is a video that uses jeans to make the pattern. Looks like a great idea.

If you get started now you can have a great homemade gift ready for the holidays. Remember these prints are  online, as well as in the store.
